If community version is different from what we have in fedora, it makes my point about user expectations even stronger.
So I remain on my position. It should be mentioned but not promoted.

Zarafa is not positioning itself on its own website as "All advantages of Micrososft Exchange at 50% of the costs" [1]. The version we have in the repos also seems to have a limit of 3 outlook users according to [2]. So in this specific case I do have some pain in promoting it. I would even go as far as saying that if the version of Zarafa in Fedora really has this 3 user limit it is against the philosophy and spirit of Fedora.
Get a clue of Zarafa, please. Fedora is shipping the Zarafa Open Source Collaboration, which doesn't include any proprietary software, that means there is no Outlook support at all in Fedora, even not the three mentioned Outlook users from the community edition. The community edition contains proprietary software which can be used up to three Outlook users. And the community edition of Zarafa is the Open Source edition plus the proprietary Outlook support with these given three users. Community != Open Source.
